“Great cases that aren’t covered by other podcasts and Mike is hilarious. Contrary to some people’s opinion, he doesn’t hate women. The guy has common sense, a brain and is hilarious. And yes, I’m a woman.”

“I love listening to this podcast, although sometimes I find the presenter’s opinions off putting, but the episode ’No Justice’ was exceptional! It actually made me cry, the details and delivery were incredible. Overall I highly recommend this podcast to true crime fans”

“The skillful telling of these unthinkable crimes is captivating. Decades ago I became interested in true crime because of my teenage children, maybe I’d learn something to help protect them now it’s more about awareness for my own safety. Good stuff. I became a subscriber today!”

“The digs and comments against women and constant insertion of political opinions is a turn off. Also the delivery is GOD freaking awful! No one wants to listen up anyone pausing every 2-3 words for some sort of dramatic effect.”

“I have listened to your podcast and look forward to the stories but the side commentary that are based purely on personal preference makes me reluctant to tune in. I think your podcast would be so kc better if you left it out. I’m a sucker for a humor and sarcasm but comments have an undertone of...”Read full review »

“Loved listening to Sword and Scale so I was super excited about this new podcast but unfortunately the host has lost my attention. He is always making condescending comments about sex, race and politics. WE DO NOT CARE. So frustrating because the stories are unique unlike other podcast but I...”Read full review »

But you say she was suspicious when she told police that she was a victim of domestic violence because domestic violence victims usually don’t know they are victims?? What?!?

“Excellent cases but the host is an insufferable misogynist who honestly has no idea how to be sympathetic to victims without somehow blaming them. Plus, give Shatner his cadence back.”

“The stories are good, but Mike’s petulant little “wounded boy” delivery is distracting. His out of left field jabs at women makes one question the validity - is he slanting story details to prove something? Someone get Mike some therapy for however many women, in whatever ways, really jaded him.”

“Started really good. I enjoyed the host and stories. As time has passed, however, the host has started to insert his opinions in a very condescending and mocking way. The show has just become abrasive and off putting. It’s a shame.”

“Mike can’t help but pontificate on his pro-Trump opinions throughout the podcast. One of the things that seems to give Mike the most glee, is trying to discredit the #metoo movement.”

“I’m all for…. monetising content….but four ads per short, episode?….is taking the …urine.
I left the pauses in so it sounded like the racist, misogynistic host.
(He developed as a character, and sadly it’s now his entire ethos. For any…. of his all too…..often offered….. opinions)”

“I’ve listened to Mike for years. His content and his ability to tell a story and engage his audience is very good. That being said, he often lets it be known how little he thinks of women. Take the clown episode. He refers to the 16-year-old girl as a woman, but he refers to the psychopathic...”Read full review »
